Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hello!

I hope I can explain somewhat correctly what I want 🙂

So... I got this label (Label33) where I have calculated when the SLA expires for an errand, for example: "2021-04-16 17:50:04". Right now the time is "2021-04-17 15:59:00" can I somehow make a countdown in a timer:

Now() - DateTimeValue(Label33.Text)

hi @Anonymous maybe a push into a direction

Add a date time picker and two text boxes to keep the SLA detail

Add a timer and Text = DatePicker1.SelectedDate -Today() & "day "
& Text(Time(Value(TextInput2.Text) -Hour(Now()), Value(TextInput3.Text)-1 - Minute(Now()), (Timer1.Duration-Timer1.Value)/1000), "[$-en-US]hh:mm:ss")

now whenever the app open it will so the time to go.

hope this gives some direction

HI @Anonymous ,

I would suggest making use of a timer.
So setting a variable every second with the current time:

and then use that variable to calculate the difference in dates:
DateDiff(CurrentTime, DateTimeValue(Label33.Text),Days)

Noting that 'Days' could be Hours/Minutes/Seconds depending on what you require.

Thanks,
Liam.

Text(Time(0, 0, (Timer1.Duration-Timer1.Value)/1000), "hh:mm:ss")
